ndi-time

Time since the UNIX epoch in 100-nanosecond increments as a signed 64-bit integer. Conversion to seconds would be \(T_s = T_n*10^{-6}\) and conversion from seconds would be \(T_n = T_s*10^{6}\).

UNIX epoch

The point at which time starts: January 1, 1970 00:00:00 (UTC) on all platforms

uint8

Unsigned 8-bit integer

uint16

Unsigned 16-bit integer
